@alwaysseeingstars it is tough? But also not half as bad as others so I feel for others! Not quite, but hoping I’ll see it in the next day, if not I think it was definitely a false positive!

RosyappleA · 10/05/2022 16:09

Fell asleep and forgot to call my OH to bed as he’d already fallen asleep there 😂. He later came and woke me up though so i believe i am now officially done as it was ovulation day. Any more dtd and I may just end up bedridden.
Also my libido has suddenly completely disappeared anyone notice a sudden change post ovulation?
Will try those vitamins for him although itll take him some convincing to take them.

alwaysseeingstars · 10/05/2022 16:07

@allthingssparkly yep, I had a chemical in March 3 months after starting taking them. My friend also got pregnant on them, luckily a healthy little boy x

allthingssparkly · 10/05/2022 15:53

Thank you @alwaysseeingstars have you fallen pregnant since taking them? X

alwaysseeingstars · 10/05/2022 15:45

Hey @Peonies94 was just reading through and saw your message from a couple of days ago! Wow 16 months, that must be tough. But amazing news if your cycles are becoming more regular! Any sign of ovulation yet?
@Tropicana1 the TWW really does mess with your head doesn't it!!

QueenBee22 · 10/05/2022 13:51

@RMS0209 my local health food shop have them! Maybe try some near you hopefully they might have them too x

MrsGrealish · 10/05/2022 13:51

@alwaysseeingstars thank you!!

@RMS0209 gotta check out the competition 😂 no I sent DH out I do not want to be near a pharmacy on holiday so he was sent out with strict instructions (mainly buy a 2 pack)
Vitamins for the man are 'bespoke man-food grown fertility' xx

@QueenBee22 thank u xx can't actually believe it..only symptom was a weird stitch like cramp on one side a couple days ago. Fx little bean sticks xx

RMS0209 · 10/05/2022 13:47

@QueenBee22 where did you get? boots only have female ones for me :( x

RMS0209 · 10/05/2022 13:46

Ignore me I found the male... duh! x

QueenBee22 · 10/05/2022 13:44

@MrsGrealish thank you I have just ordered them so hopefully they come soon I am not due to ovulate for another 2 weeks as my cycles are quite long-35 days on average so hopefully they will have some effect by the time ovulation comes around!

Fingers crossed for you, congratulations again it is great to see good news on the thread xx

RMS0209 · 10/05/2022 13:41

@MrsGrealish you just visiting pharmacy's on holiday picking up tests? haha I love it! congratulations which a great line, fingers crossed for a sticky bean xx

What's the name of the male ones? I cant seem to get the photo to go big on the computer grr, found the female ones! xx

@MrsGrealish oh what a lovely start to your hols 😘

MrsGrealish · 10/05/2022 12:50

@alwaysseeingstars AF due on Thursday (I normally ovulate early) so 4 weeks from lmp is actually this Saturday but I always have a 26 day cycle. Not sure anyone considers that when calculating due dates 🤷‍♀️ xx

All my babies have been at least a week early x

MrsGrealish · 10/05/2022 12:46

@QueenBee22 I ordered them online and they took at least a week so ended up arriving after I ovulated early April. I ended up making a complaint and they arrived the next day🧐

Me and DH both started around the 6 April. That cycle was negative. Too late to do any good especially for him. Kept taking them I ovulated on 27 April and got an actual convincing positive today! I've been trying since January xx

Praying for a sticky bean now xx

alwaysseeingstars · 10/05/2022 12:32

@MrsGrealish I know what you mean, when I got my positives it was so different between real life and the photos! But that is wonderful, how many DPO are you?
Boots are out of stock of the male ones currently, how many people have read your recommendation? 😂

QueenBee22 · 10/05/2022 12:17

Thanks @MrsGrealish

How long have you both been taking them for? I think I will give them a go!

MrsGrealish · 10/05/2022 12:05

@alwaysseeingstars thank you!! It's was super blue and showed up instantly..praying it sticks! iPhone does it no justice

They are like horse tablets and smell weird but I think DH taking them make all the difference xx

alwaysseeingstars · 10/05/2022 11:55

@allthingssparkly I do use the Seven Seas ones, they were recommended by the GP. I like them as they're really small :)
Am definitely tempted by the Wild ones @MrsGrealish uses, especially after seeing today's test! Congratulations lovely, keeping fingers crossed xx

RMS0209 · 10/05/2022 11:54

@allthingssparkly - i just take Boots Folic Acid 400ug x

Tropicana1 · 10/05/2022 11:34

Woo well done @MrsGrealish that's fab!

How is everyone today, I hate this TWW every day seems to just drag and it's so hard to distract myself to thinking about anything else 🤦🏼‍♀️ 3DPO and I'm already symptom spotting that I've got some lower back ache and my uterus feels heavy 😂 officially lost the plot

MrsGrealish · 10/05/2022 11:20

Fully recommend the vitamins! Xx

MrsGrealish · 10/05/2022 11:14

Got a better line..

allthingssparkly · 10/05/2022 11:01

Hmm, maybe I just take folic acid then instead. Don't want anything potentially messing my cycles up.

How many mg of FA do you take @RMS0209? X

RMS0209 · 10/05/2022 10:47

I think.. @alwaysseeingstars uses them?? @allthingssparkly I used the wellwoman but I think that's what delayed ovulation so i'm just on folic acid now, but if needed next cycle thinking of trying the wild nutrition ones x

Hey everyone,
hope you dont mind me joining in, im not sure if im just being hyperaware of my body and never noticed it before my cycle started the 18th april and opk positive 2nd and 3rd and im guessing id ovulated the 4th, we dtd quite regularly. I have been having on off cramps and twinges since the 7th may and started lightly spotting since the 8th barely noticed it the 8th and then its be when i wipe very light brown passed two days and it isnt all the time sorry tmi, im not due on until 18th may surely this is too early for period or ib as im like clockwork?

anyway ive had a lower back aches, mild cramping some times shooting pains but very short lived and a cold since the 8th which is easing off and headaches all day yesterday i feel so rundown in myself and i know its too early for symptoms of pregnancy but anyone else feel like this or is it all just a coincidence and im ill😂
